I wonder if we'll ever get a truthful biography of the reasons for and circumstances around his public actions over time? It would be great to peer past rumour and conjecture.

> Not sure if it’s still true but for a while you could get instantly banned for saying “cisgender.” Free speech absolutism!

This was never true, and you could have easily checked before posting this. People who are really concerned about misinformation seem to spread it around casually about their enemies.

It's marked as a slur and falls under their hateful conduct policy.

>Elon Musk has deemed the words “cis” and “cisgender” slurs on Twitter and warned that anyone who harasses others on Twitter will receive at least temporary suspension.

That is quite different from claiming that if you say “cisgender” you get banned…

I didn't say that you get banned.

Just clarifying the truth of the matter is between what the two posters above me said.

While not banned, any tweet with "cis" was labeled as harmful content and immediately hidden. Some people did receive bans iirc. You could type "cis" under actual violent white supremacist posts and your comment would be labeled harmful.

Twitter is not a bastion if free speech. It's a Nazi bar where a certain type ideologically violent free speech is encouraged.
